  Vatican II New Mass - does it help souls in purgatory?
Posted by: Roland - 11-11-2021, 02:30 PM - Forum: General Commentary - Replies (1)

Hello,
I have been recently (2+ years) to a Traditional Latin Mass.

My question is, what of all the NO Masses that I had the priest offer for a dead relatives/friends, including Gregorian Masses that I'm sure were done as NO Masses. Did my relatives/friends in purgatory receive any help by these Masses? Doesn't God, loathe, some might say despise, the NO Mass?

Thoughts?

God Bless You all,
Roland

  Doctors call for Pfizer jabs to be halted in Sweden after ‘extensive research fraud’ found in trials
Posted by: Stone - 11-11-2021, 09:46 AM - Forum: COVID Vaccines - No Replies

Doctors call for Pfizer jabs to be halted in Sweden after ‘extensive research fraud’ found in trials
The group of 16 signatories made the demands in a November 5 letter, warning also of the injections’ side effects.

Wed Nov 10, 2021
STOCKHOLM, Sweden (LifeSiteNews - adapted) – A group of 16 Swedish doctors and researchers demanded that Pfizer’s COVID injections throughout the nation be “paused until risk/benefit calculations are made for all age groups” while referencing “extensive research fraud” in the pharmaceutical company’s clinical trials. 

The group’s statement in a November 5 press release came in light of a whistleblower’s testimony to the prestigious British Medical Journal (BMJ), alleging that a Pfizer subcontractor company had falsified data, unblinded trial participants, and neglected the timely follow-up of subjects experiencing adverse events as they conducted a Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine trial in the fall of 2020.  

Brook Jackson, a “trained clinical trial auditor” with more than “15 years’ experience in clinical research coordination and management,” worked for Ventavia Research Group of Texas for two weeks in September 2020 and was fired the day she raised her concerns to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Jackson, whose testimony was corroborated by former colleagues, raised a number of issues to the FDA, including: 
  • Participants placed in a hallway after injection and not being monitored by clinical staff 
  • Lack of timely follow-up of patients who experienced adverse events 
  • Protocol deviations not being reported 
  • Vaccines not being stored at proper temperatures 
  • Mislabeled laboratory specimens, and
  • Targeting of Ventavia staff for reporting these types of problems.
Referencing the BMJ’s report, the Swedish doctors described the contents as “extremely serious.”

“It undermines confidence in Pfizer, which is responsible for testing the vaccine and for the safety of the vaccine currently being used in Swedes, hundreds of thousands of whom are children,” they wrote.

The 16 signatories also noted the “gigantic” scale “of the number of reported suspected adverse reactions to the COVID” injections as a cause for concern. In Sweden alone, “83,744 suspected adverse reactions have been reported” since injections commenced 10 months ago.

Such a figure “is more than 10 times more than all the adverse reactions reported per year in the preceding years for all medicines and vaccines, totaling some 25,000 substances,” they stated.

Meanwhile, “some 20 studies have shown that the vaccine’s efficacy is very weak,” added the signatories, further attacking the need for vaccination campaigns. Their argument was supported recently by Dr. Peter Doshi, an associate professor of pharmaceutical health services research at the University of Maryland School of Pharmacy and associate editor of the BMJ, who testified against COVID vaccine efficacy.

Consequently, the signatories stressed that due to the combined weight of Jackson’s testimony, along with the adverse effects and proof of lack of efficacy, the injection campaign must be halted. “Our position is taken in the light of the revelation in the BMJ and what we know today about the risks to patients,” they said.

“The strong suspicion that parts of the clinical trial for the Pfizer vaccine were not conducted in a scientifically acceptable manner and where the study results cannot be considered reliable, combined with the large number of reported suspected adverse reactions following vaccination, many of a serious nature, is of deep concern to us as physicians, scientists and immunologists,” they wrote.

Highlighting particularly the “extremely low risk of serious disease” COVID-19 posed to children, the signatories noted that the injections present the “risk of serious side effects” to children.

“The fact that the vaccine’s efficacy has already declined considerably after a few months and is weak against the delta variant of the virus contributes to our conclusion that COVID vaccination in Sweden should be paused until risk/benefit calculations are made for all age groups,” they said.


Signatory notes ‘rapid decline’ in jab efficacy, studies warn of health concerns

Sebastian Rushworth, one of the signatories of the document, also wrote November 5 to comment on a recent Swedish study that showed a “rapid decline” in “vaccine efficacy” after just months.

“At four to six months, the vaccines were only reducing the relative risk of infection by 48%,” he noted, later adding that by nine months, Pfizer’s injection is “no longer offering any protection whatsoever against symptomatic COVID-19.”

Another recent study, undertaken by researchers in two Swedish universities and using the abortion-derived HEK-293 cell line, observed that the spike proteins delivered by the mRNA COVID injections actually harmed physical health. The “spike protein significantly inhibits DNA damage repair,” the authors attested.

“Our findings reveal a potential molecular mechanism by which the spike protein might impede adaptive immunity and underscore the potential side effects of full-length spike-based vaccines,” they continued.

Meanwhile, the amount of adverse effects post-injection in the United States continues to grow, as documented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Data from December 14, 2020 through October 29, 2021, record a total of 856,919 adverse events after COVID-19 injections.

Of this number, there were a total of 18,078 reports of deaths, and 127,457 reports of serious injuries, including deaths, during the same time period — up 3,570 compared with the previous week.

Children’s Health Defense reported that “of the 8,284 U.S. deaths reported as of Oct. 29, 10% occurred within 24 hours of vaccination, 15% occurred within 48 hours of vaccination and 26% occurred in people who experienced an onset of symptoms within 48 hours of being vaccinated.”

Such figures could be only a small representative of the true total, as a 2010 report submitted to the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services’ (HHS) Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) warned that VAERS caught “fewer than 1% of vaccine adverse events.”

The CDC has itself admitted finding a “likely association” between heart inflammation in adolescents and young adults after vaccination with an experimental mRNA COVID shot. Some teens have died shortly after receiving their shots.

The list of the 16 signatories is found below:

Nils Littorin, MD; Ph.D. in clinical microbiology

Magnus Burling, specialist in general medicine

Sture Blomberg, specialist in anaesthesia and intensive care; associate professor

Ragnar Hultborn, specialist in oncology; professor emeritus

Lilian Weiss, specialist in general surgery; associate professor

The Psalter of the Blessed Virgin Mary
by St. Bonaventure

[Image: ?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.gr-assets.com%2Fimage...f=1&nofb=1]


AUTHOR'S PREFACE

"Take hold on her, and she shall exalt thee: thou shalt be glorified by her, when thou shalt embrace her. She shall give to thy head increase of graces, and protect thee with a noble crown." (Prov. IV, 8-9.)

Glory be to God on high, and thanksgiving, and the voice of praise, who at one time by the mysteries of prophecy, at another by oracles from Heaven, again by the reading of the Gospel, and now by the mouth of preachers, in many ways and by divers channels, most sincerely urges and invites us to honor the Virgin Mary, the Queen of Heaven and of the Angels; that by her holy merits, most worthy of all acceptance, we, being delivered from
the depths of hell, may be inscribed by her in the ranks of the angels. Wherefore, although Solomon spoke the aforesaid words of Wisdom, nevertheless the Holy Spirit, by a mystical application, intends them to be understood of the most excellent Virgin Mary.

By means of these words, dearly beloved, He is drawing you to His love, and by various promises is attracting and softening your hearts, that you may enjoy His divine embraces. His meaning is that you will obtain four wonderful gifts, if this glorious Virgin is joined to you by a spiritual bond, and is embraced by you in the arms of fervent desire, with great reverence and devotion. First, she will bring you exaltation; and she shall exalt thee;
secondly, glorification; and thou shalt be glorified by her; thirdly, the abundance of graces; she shall give to thy head increase of graces; fourthly, the unfading crown of perpetual glory, and protect thee with a noble crown. Therefore I beseech thee, dearly beloved and most desired, do not repel so noble and so beautiful a virgin; do not make little of so admirable and revered a queen as the Virgin Mary: lest, if she should see herself despised by you, you will be, I will not say, deprived of such great favors, but, which God forbid, you will incur perpetual evils. Expand the bosom of your mind to serve her, prepare your heart to praise and glorify her, loose your tongue, and with swift service hasten to please her.

For there is no doubt that from her nearness to you, you will become more devout, from contact with her you will grow more pure, from her embrace you will abound more in grace and be more resplendent in purity. That I may give you an occasion of obtaining such great gifts, I send you the Psalter of this most Holy Virgin, put together and composed indeed by my feeble intelligence, but with her grace and help; by means of it you will praise with divers hymns, now her virginity and chastity, now her fecundity and sanctity, now her clemency and bounty. You will be able to salute her as full of all grace, or as filled with all knowledge, or as illumined by all understanding and wisdom. There you will bless the Fruit of her glorious womb, the members of His holy body, and the prerogatives of His soul, bestowing all sanctity. There you will invoke the aid of all the choirs of angels to
praise her, and of all the multitudes of holy men, the isles of the nations, the heavens, the beauty of all luminaries and of the whole world. There you will beseech her to destroy the power of your spiritual enemies, to obtain for you pardon of all your sins that she may render the great Judge propitious to you, that she may illumine your deathbed by her gracious presence, and obtain for you joy without end. Therefore, O dearly beloved souls, graciously receive this little gift which I offer you, and strive to draw fruit there from; by means of it frequently praise the Mother of God; and thus perchance she will turn to you her gracious countenance, receiving you to her love, refreshing your soul in the present, and placing upon your head a crown of precious stones in the world to come.

French Health Authority Warns Men Under 30 To Avoid Moderna Jab

ZH | NOV 10, 2021

The bad news for Moderna just keeps coming.

In the wake of a weak earnings report that sent Moderna shares cratering last week, French health authorities have just released a new advisory recommending that people under 30 don't get the Moderna vaccine, recommending that they choose the Pfizer-BioNTech jab instead.

The decision draws on recently released data showing that the risk of heart inflammation from Pfizer's jab "appears to be around five times lesser...compared to Modera's spikevax jab", per an opinion published by the HAS.

Cases of myocarditis mostly manifest within 7 days of vaccination, typically after the second dose has been given. Most patients who experience side effects are typically men under the age of 30, according to the HAS, which cited research studies.

HAS acts as an advisor to the French health sector but it doesn't have the power to ban medicines or vaccines. The recommendation will apply to first and second doses, as well as a any "booster shot" doses available while the agency awaits additional data.

For French men and women aged 30 and over, however, HAS says it sees no problem with administering Moderna's Spikevax in this group, stating that its efficacy was slightly higher than Pfizer-BioNTech's jab.

Last month saw a handful of Nordic nations place varying restrictions on Moderna’s vaccine.

Tiny Iceland, meanwhile, has banned the Moderna jab from being used across the entire population.

Initially. Stockholm announced it would pause the use of Moderna for all of its population born in 1991 or after.

Helsinki followed suit, but halted the jabs for young, male Finns only based on a study involving Finland, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden which found that men under 30 had a slightly higher risk of developing heart inflammation. Oslo also suggested that young Norwegian men should consider choosing Comirnaty, the Pfizer jab, over Moderna's or any of the other options.

The EMA, the EU's medical watchdog, has acknowledged that inflammatory conditions like myocarditis and pericarditis, two different types of heart inflammation, should be added to a list of rare side effects from the vaccines that could be potentially harmful.

US Surgeon General Issues ‘Toolkit’ Asking Americans Not To Share ‘Misleading Memes’ About COVID
In other words, don’t share anything that doesn’t fit the government narrative

[Image: GettyImages-1328901398.jpg]

Summit News | 10 November, 2021

US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy has issued a ‘toolkit’ ordering Americans not to share any information about COVID, including memes and statistics, unless they are verified by the CDC.

A press release from Murthy’s office reads “With the authorization of COVID-19 vaccines for children 5 to 11 years old, it is more important than ever that families have access to accurate, science-based information. Health misinformation is spreading fast and far online and throughout our communities.”

“The good news is that we all have the power to help stop the spread of health misinformation during this pandemic and beyond,” the statement continues, adding “That’s where this toolkit comes in – to provide Americans with resources to help limit and reduce this threat to public health.”

The document also warns American off “websites that look professional (often designed to look like news sites).”

[Image: IMG_7175-2.jpg]

In other words, don’t share anything that doesn’t fit the government narrative.

The documents asks the following questions:
  • Did you check with the CDC or local public health department to see whether there is any information about the claim being made?
  • Did you ask a credible health care professional such as your doctor or nurse if they have any additional information?
  • Did you type the claim into a search engine to see if it has been verified by a credible source?
  • Did you look at the “About Us” page on the website to see if you can trust the source?
Of course, should you type a query into Google about vaccine side affects or deaths, you will not find much because the company is actively censoring such information.

The toolkit is a continuation of the Biden administration’s ‘do what the experts tell you without question’ routine.

Murthy himself previously claimed that the government putting requirements on people to take vaccines is a long held American tradition, and that many businesses are “relieved” that the government is pushing vaccine mandates.

We noted yesterday that the CEO of Pfizer has declared that anyone spreading “misinformation” about COVID-19 vaccines should be treated as a “criminal”.

As we have also previously noted, government employees who still resist and spread “misinformation” are to be subjected to reeducation, according to the CDC head.

  People Who Spread “Misinformation” About COVID-19 Vaccines Are “Criminals,” Says Pfizer CEO

People Who Spread “Misinformation” About COVID-19 Vaccines Are “Criminals,” Says Pfizer CEO
“They have literally cost millions of lives.”

Summit News | 9 November, 2021

People who spread “misinformation” about COVID-19 vaccines are “criminals,” according to the CEO of Pfizer.

During an appearance at the globalist Washington D.C.-based think tank Atlantic Council, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla blamed a “very small” group of people for circulating information that leads to people being vaccine hesitant.

“Those people are criminals,” he told Atlantic Council CEO Frederick Kempe. “They’re not bad people. They’re criminals because they have literally cost millions of lives.”

Bourla went on to suggest that life would only ever get “back to normal” once the unvaccinated have been vaccinated.

“The only thing that stands between the new way of life and the current way of life is, frankly, hesitancy to vaccinations,” he said.

The increasing shift towards demonizing people who question the safety and efficacy of vaccines as not just “conspiracy theorists,” but actual criminals who deserve prison time is accelerating.

As we previously highlighted, the UK government is trying to pass a new law that would jail people who post “false information” about vaccines for two years.

Treating people who question billionaires that own transnational corporations responsible for $3 billion in corruption penalties as “criminals” is surely good for society, right?

A similar process is in play when it comes to those who question the official dogma spewed by climate change technocrats.

Before long, people won’t just receive social media bans for questioning orthodoxy, they’ll just be sent straight to prison.

  Diocese of Rome forbids ALL Traditional Easter Liturgies

Legalism: Francis' Diocese "Forbids" ALL Roman Rite Easter Liturgies
gloria.tv | November 9, 2021


The Diocese of Rome "prohibited" the Easter Triduum, all sacraments and sacramentals except Mass according to the [Conciliar] Roman Rite with an October 7 decree. [English translation here: https://rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2021/1...evere.html]

MessaInLatino.it (November 9) calls [it] “the worst and most restrictive implementation of Traditionis Custodes.

“It could only come from the diocese of Rome, which from the heart of Christianity has become the epicentre of a senseless war against the Roman liturgy.”

Easter is even "forbidden" in the Roman Parish run by the Fraternity of St Peter (FSSP), in Saints Celsus and Julian Basilica entrusted to the Christ the King Institute (ICRSS), and in other churches where the Roman Mass is celebrated.

In Francis' rigid Anti-Rigidity Church and judgmental Who-Am-I-To-Judge pontificate the axe of "mercy" falls on those who are legitimately anchored in the Church's Tradition, MessaInLatino.it comments, adding, “Hard times for the faithful of Rome and beyond. Good luck... to Pachamama!"

  Benedict XVI pays tribute to Orthodox leader on the 10th anniversary of his death

Benedict XVI marks 10th anniversary of Orthodox leader’s death


By CNA | Fribourg, Switzerland, Nov 8, 2021

Pope emeritus Benedict XVI has paid tribute to an Orthodox leader on the 10th anniversary of his death.

In a letter dated Oct. 11, the retired German pope said it seemed “inconceivable” that a decade had passed since the death of Metropolitan Damaskinos Papandreou, the first Greek Orthodox metropolitan of Switzerland, in 2011.

CNA Deutsch, CNA’s German-language news partner, reported that Benedict XVI made the comment in a message to a conference held in the metropolitan’s honor on Nov. 5 at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland.

Metropolitan Damaskinos, a bishop of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, was born in Thermo, Greece, on Feb. 23, 1936. He was elected as the first metropolitan of Switzerland in 1982.

The author of numerous works on ecumenism, he served as the metropolitan bishop of Adrianople from 2003 until his death on Nov. 5, 2011, at the age of 75.

“That 10 years have already passed since the death of Metropolitan Damaskinos Papandreou of Switzerland is quite inconceivable to me,” the pope emeritus wrote in his message, addressed to Metropolitan Maximos of Switzerland and Professor Stefanos Athanasiou.

The letter was read out in a video message to the conference by Cardinal Kurt Koch, the Swiss president of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity.

Benedict, who served as pope from 2005 to 2013, said it was “a very special gift of Providence” that shortly after he was appointed a professor at the University of Bonn, Germany, in 1959, two Orthodox archimandrites began studying at the university’s Catholic and Protestant theological faculties.

“This was something new and unexpected, because until then Orthodox students never studied at Catholic faculties, but exclusively at the Protestant and the so-called Christian Catholic (= Old Catholic) faculty in Bern [Switzerland],” he explained.

“Both archimandrites became friends of mine. Unfortunately, my friend Stylianos Harkianakis, who later became Metropolitan of Australia, subsequently took a rigorous position that cooled our friendship,” the 94-year-old wrote.

“The friendship with Metropolitan Damaskinos Papandreou grew all the more for me, and thus the sadness over his all-too-early death.”

But the fruit of a lively inner relationship with Orthodoxy has remained and continues to grow in the friendship that unites me more and more with the Ecumenical Patriarch.”

Pope Francis Encourages Communist Groups as “Veritable Invisible Army”



Lepanto Institute [adapted, emphasis in the original]| November 1, 2021


The text that follows is the script for the video report, which you can watch here.



NOTE: The following video of MST’s anthem was discovered after the production of our video report.  Watch our video report (above) first, and then watch this video of MST’s anthem, paying careful attention to the lyrics : https://youtu.be/X5ruGLoAC7A


Transcript

A few weeks ago, the Lepanto Institute produced a report showing the direct connections the Vatican has with an international Communist organization called the World Social Forum.  In that report, we provided indisputable evidence that Caritas Internationalis, the Vatican’s umbrella agency for about 160 Catholic aid and development organizations throughout the world, is a leading member of the International Council – the governing body – of the World Social Forum.  We also proved that the World Social Forum provides a venue for blatantly Communist activity, promotes abortion, and is a major advocate for LGBT activism.

The thing is, the World Social Forum is a blatantly and thoroughly Communist entity that was created by local and international Communist organizations in 2001.  One of the Communist organizations that helped launch the World Social Forum is called “Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra,” or MST – which means “Landless Rural Workers Movement.”  And it just so happens that MST was featured in the Vatican’s recent video for the fourth annual World Meeting of Popular Movements.

Published on the Vatican News YouTube Channel, the Vatican’s video spends 46 minutes featuring several organizations and their causes before providing Pope Francis’ nearly 40-minute speech applauding their efforts.  The problem is that several of these organizations are openly professed Marxist groups.

Beginning at 14:30, the Vatican’s video provides a speaking platform for a woman representing MST named Ceres Hadich.  We went to Ceres Hadich’s facebook page and quickly discovered her identity as a Communist.  On February 20 of this year, Hadich posted this:

Quote:INTERNATIONAL RED BOOK DAY – part 2 _*

The Communist Manifesto was written in 1848 and released on February 21 of that same year. Therefore, on this day, all Red Book Day is celebrated worldwide.

MST invites all militancy to read excerpts from the Communist Manifesto, Marx and Engels. Record and post on social media.

Clicking the video, you can see Hadich and her family – including a young son – read excerpts from the Communist Manifesto while the Communist Hymn called the Internationale plays in the background and the MST flag hangs on the wall.  Mind you, this is an official video initiative of MST itself!

So – this woman, given a big spotlight by the Vatican, in an official Vatican video where the participants are celebrated by Pope Francis – this same woman just a few months earlier, read excerpts from the Communist Manifesto with her husband and young children!

Most disturbingly, at around the 20-minute mark of the Vatican video, the Vatican shows people working at an MST building, and painted on the wall is a mural of Pope Francis wearing an MST t-shirt.

The thing is, MST should never have been allowed to be involved with ANYTHING at the Vatican!

On May 5 of this year, MST published an article on its own website, celebrating Karl Marx’s 203rd birthday, saying: “Today marks 203 years since the birth of the philosopher of the revolution, who left a legacy of ideas and writings about the communist revolution.”

The article provides seven quotes attributed to Marx, providing MST’s own thoughts on what the Father of Communism said.  With regard to Marx’s statement that “The people who subjugate another forge their own chains,” MST said:

Quote:According to Marx, socialism, governed by the working class, would give rise to communism, a stateless society, without the existence of social and egalitarian classes. That is why it is important that the class struggle be egalitarian and that it does not stand out from any other people.

In other words, their goal is the same as Marx’s.  They WANT a Communist state!

And regarding Marx’s quote, “Revolutions are the locomotive of history,” MST said this:

Quote:For Marx, human societies only progress through conflicts between the bourgeois class, which controls the means of production, and the proletariat, which supplies the labor force. In the author’s view, the history of humanity is permeated by class struggle. That is why the revolution is so urgent and must be carried out by the working classes.

The revolution?!?  Listen … this isn’t just a one-off thing for MST.  We found HUNDREDS of posts on MST’s Facebook page pushing Karl Marx and Communism:

Celebrating Marx’s Birthday in 2019: https://www.facebook.com/MovimentoSemTer...8774498819

And in 2016: https://www.facebook.com/MovimentoSemTer...8485348531

On March 14, 2018, MST celebrated the death of Karl Marx the way Catholics celebrate the feast days of saints: https://www.facebook.com/MovimentoSemTer...5456524492

On February 21, MST said “Long live the Communist Manifesto,” celebrating the 173rd anniversary of its publication.  They said: “We celebrate today the launch of the Communist Manifesto, the small pamphlet of no more than 30 pages that would enter into human history: the Communist Party Manifesto, by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels!” https://www.facebook.com/MovimentoSemTer...1820350157

In May of 2014, MST posted a picture of a statue of Karl Marx with a red MST hat placed on his head, saying:

“May the ruling classes tremble at the communist revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to gain. Proletarians of the whole world, unite!” https://www.facebook.com/MovimentoSemTer...495478901/

These are not your garden-variety, pot-smoking Marxists you can expect to find spewing communist jargons at university protests.  These are MILITANT Marxists working toward and preparing for actual, revolution in pursuit of Karl Marx’s communist ideologies.  And they were given a major platform on a Vatican-produced video!  But they weren’t the only ones.

Beginning at 18:00, the Vatican Video gives a spotlight to Luca Casarini, the head of an organization called Mediterranea Saving Humans.  Casarini is a long-time Marxist agitator who used to lead what was called the White Overalls movement.  In May of 2001, Casarini read a “Declaration of war” against the G8 summit in Genoa, saying:

From the outskirts of the empire, from the many worlds that resist and grow with the dream of a better existence for all, today we, little rebel subjects, formally declare war on you. It is a choice that you have provoked, because we prefer peace, it is a decision that for us means challenging your arrogance and your strength, but we are obliged to do so.

Casarini’s facebook page is littered with communist organizations, such as Antifa of Monselice, The Communist Party of Crispiano, The Communist Noci Refoundation, these Communist groups (Circoloprcavocata Karlmarx), the Party of the Communist Refoundation of Sesto San Giovanni, Che Guevara Rome, the Young Communists of Naples, and on, and on, and on …

And despite Casarini’s long affiliation with the Communist movement in Italy, not only was he featured in this Vatican video, but last April, Pope Francis sent him a hand-written note thanking him for his work with Medeteranea Saving Humans, giving his offer for help saying “Count on me.”

Quote:Luca, dear brother,

Thank you very much for your letter which Michel brought me. Thank you for the human pity you have in the face of so many pains. Thank you for your testimony, which does me so much good.

I am close to you and your companions. Thanks for all you do. I would like to tell you that I am always available to help out. Count on me.

I wish you a holy Easter. I pray for you, please, do it for me.

May the Lord bless you and Our Lady keep you. Fraternally,

Francis

Another Marxist organization promoted in the Vatican video is StreetNet International.  In June 2011, StreetNet International collaborated with the Confederation of Self-Employed Workers and the National Workers’ Front in the creation of a Manifesto for Self-Employed Workers.

Citing Karl Marx throughout, the Manifesto actually calls for Socialist Revolution.  On page 12, it says:

Quote:The proposal contained in this Manifesto maintains the socialist tradition of the twentieth century … Socialism today cannot limit itself to fighting exploitative labour relations, but rather must struggle against all types of inequality or discrimination, thus advancing not only toward a socialist economy, but also a socialist society.

A couple of pages later, it applauds the Soviet Revolution in Russia, saying:

Quote:In the early twentieth century, upon the triumph of the Russian revolution, Lenin introduced to Marxism the theory of capitalist exploitation among countries, and with it the idea of socialist revolution in countries considered not industrialised but subordinate to world capital.

And then, on page 21, the Manifesto makes the case for armed revolution, saying:

Quote:There have been political revolutions in many Third World countries, undertaken by socialist organizations. This is not up for discussion. What is being proposed here is the possibility that political revolutions (takeover of government, the political-military apparatus and control over government management) may eventually transit toward a social revolution (takeover of economic power, construction of an alternative system democratically controlled and planned by popular councils). Given the correlation of forces, it is necessary to advance in all directions at the same time, by means of discourse, by forging alliances, by combining the revolution from above with the revolution from below, and last but not least, by building said revolution from below.

Given this disposition, it should come as no surprise that StreetNet partnered up with the South Africa Communist Party to launch the Siskone Traders’ Alliance in 2008, and the World Class Cities for All campaign in 2009.

The next organization profiled in this Vatican Video is called Slum Dwellers International.  In a 2015 article on strategies for fighting evictions, SDI turned to Karl Marx, saying:

Quote:“Karl Marx pretty much summed up the state of affairs more than 150 years ago when he declared that the poor are weak because they are not united and they are not united because they are weak.”

And

“as Marx pointed out “the real fruit of their battle (lay), not in the immediate result”, but in their ever-expanding union.”

And one of the most prominent organizations profiled in the Vatican’s video is Faith in Action.  You may remember this organization from reports we produced last year proving that Faith in Action and its regional organization PICO California were actively involved in pushing for the election of Joe Biden and other Democrats, while applauding violent protests and promoting abortion and transgenderism.

Communism, and in particular the revolutionist and materialist ideologies of Communism, are thoroughly condemned by the Catholic Church, and in 1949 Pope Pius XII published a decree that those Catholics “who profess and particularly those who defend and spread the materialist and anti-Christian doctrine of the Communists, ipso facto, as apostates from the Catholic faith, incur automatic excommunication reserved especially to the Holy See.”

The promotion of self-professed Marxists in a video produced and published by the Vatican is a gravely serious matter, but most disturbing of all are the words of Pope Francis himself, in addressing these Marxist organizations.  Here are a few excerpts from Pope Francis’ speech to these communists:
  • “You are, as I said in the letter I sent you last year, a veritable invisible army; you are a fundamental part of that humanity that fights for life against a system of death.”
  • “Know that you are called to participate in great processes of change, as I said to you in Bolivia: “the future of humanity is in great measure in your own hands, through your ability to organize and carry out creative alternatives” in your hands.”
  • “I often hear, “Father, we agree, but in real terms, what must we do?” I do not have the answer, and so we must dream together and find it together. There are, however, some concrete measures that may allow for significant changes. These measures are present in your documents, in your speeches, and I have taken them very much into account; I have reflected on them and consulted specialists.”

For Pope Francis to say such things to avowed revolutionary Communists – professed enemies of the Catholic Church and Her faithful children – is shocking beyond words!  But this is why Our Lady told us to pray the Rosary every day, asking us to make the five first Saturdays of reparation to her Immaculate Heart.  We are living in dark times, indeed … but Our Lady, the lighthouse for the Church, is holding the light!

STORY AT-A-GLANCE
  • Li-Meng Yan, M.D., Ph.D., escaped from China to the United States to expose China’s cover-up of the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic
  • According to Yan, SARS-CoV-2 was made in a Chinese military lab. The Third Military Medical University and the Research Institute for Medicine of Nanjing Command discovered a bat coronavirus called ZC45. She’s convinced that ZC45 was used as a template and/or backbone to create SARS-CoV-2
  • While the Chinese military may be responsible for the physical creation of the virus, there’s ample evidence showing the U.S. funded at least some of the research that resulted in this pandemic
  • The COVID shots and the vaccine passports fit into the CCP agenda by making the whole world accept and adopt the CCP’s social control system
  • Yan urges Americans to realize the destructiveness of communism, and to resist it in any way possible. This includes refusing vaccine mandates and vaccine passports

(Mercola)[not all hyperlinks included here, see original article link for complete list references] – Today, we continue our discussion of the COVID-19 pandemic and its origin with a fascinating guest who has been a leader exposing the corruption and fraud with respect to the origin of the virus. Li-Meng Yan is both an M.D. and Ph.D., with specific training in coronaviruses. She escaped from China’s influence while in Hong Kong to the United States, to warn us of what she believes is a massive cover-up.

Yan went to medical school, followed by a Ph.D. program in ophthalmology. The school where she got her Ph.D. was originally a military medical university, which helps explain some of her personal network. She has contacts in both civilian and military research laboratories and hospitals in mainland China.

After finishing her studies, she decided to pursue research. For two years, she worked in an ophthalmology lab in the University of Hong Kong, where she researched stem cells, drugs and artificial tissue development. She was then invited to join the lab of Professor Malik Peiris.

Yan’s husband had worked with him and Peiris was impressed with Yan’s skillset. She jumped at the chance to learn more about emerging infectious diseases. She worked with Peiris for five years, until she escaped to the U.S. in April 2020.

“I worked on the influenza virus, universal influenza vaccine development, and then focused on the SARS-CoV-2 after the outbreak,” she says.


SARS-CoV-2 was made in a Chinese military lab

At the end of December 2019, Yan’s supervisor, Dr. Leo Poon, who is also an emerging infectious disease expert with the World Health Organization, assigned her to conduct a confidential investigation into a mysterious new pneumonia-like infection.

Colleagues and friends at universities and hospitals around China gave her information, which she forwarded to Peiris and Poon. They did not follow up on it, however, which she says “shows that they want [to] help China to cover it up.”

In January 2020, Poon asked her to look into whether the raccoon dog, a civet cat-like animal, which was a host for the original SARS virus, might also be an intermediary host for SARS-CoV-2. Yan’s research, however, was indicating that the virus did not come from nature. Poon warned her to keep silent or “you will be disappeared.”

According to Yan, SARS-CoV-2 was made in a Chinese military lab. The Third Military Medical University in Chongqing, China, and the Research Institute for Medicine of Nanjing Command in Nanjing, had discovered a bat coronavirus called ZC45. The discovery of ZC45 was published in early 2018.

“If you compare this virus genome and the SARS-CoV-2 virus genome, you will realize [this is the] smoking gun,” Yan says. She’s convinced that ZC45 was used as a template and/or backbone to create SARS-CoV-2.

In mid-May 2020, shortly after she’d left Hong Kong, the journal Nature published a paper Yan had co-written, detailing the pathogenesis and transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in golden hamsters. This experiment showed SARS-CoV-2 primarily spreads via aerosol.

In mid-September 2020, Yan published an open access paper on Zenodo, in which she and her two co-authors laid out the evidence and their theory for SARS-CoV-2 being manmade.

Almost immediately, four “reviewers” of her work denounced it as being an “opinion” piece that was “flawed” and not scientifically in line with currently accepted knowledge of the origin of the virus. One reviewer said, “The manuscript attempts to refute our current understanding of the origins of SARS-CoV-2. Briefly, the consensus is that SARS-CoV-2 is a zoonosis and originated in bats with perhaps an intermediate host before spilling over into humans.”

A year later, in 2021, numerous indicators show that dismissing the lab leak hypothesis was premature and there is no “consensus” of a zoonosis origin.

Documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by The Intercept also point directly to a lab origin, so much so that the WHO’s director general, Tedros Ghebreyesus, called for a new investigation into it, writing in the October 13, 2021, edition of the journal Science, “A lab accident cannot be ruled out until there is sufficient evidence to do so and those results are openly shared.”


The escape from China

Initially, Yan had released information via an American YouTube blogger that was very popular in China. By the end of April 2020, a colleague warned Yan she was at risk of being “disappeared.” That’s when she decided to flee to the U.S.

Luckily, she already had a valid visa. Her husband was deeply opposed to her leaving, as you might imagine. She explains:

Quote:“I didn’t know it would happen like [it did]. From January to April [2020], I didn’t tell him what I had done. I tried to protect him, because at that time, in Hong Kong, there were a lot of people fighting against government for democracy and freedom. They can get disappeared easily.

But if their family don’t know what they have done, it’s kind of safe for the family. That’s why I tried to protect him. But when I heard that I need leave, I tried to bring him with me. He’s not Chinese. He’s from Sri Lanka. When I told him, he was outraged, which was really not like him. He warned me, saying ‘We can go nowhere. They are everywhere. We can do nothing’.”

Her husband even threatened to have her killed if she left. The next two weeks were a dangerous time for Yan. Her husband kept her under surveillance, and she developed a sudden heart problem. The day before she left, she went for a checkup. She had a resting heart rate of 130, which is a sign of sinus tachycardia.

Yan suspects foul play, saying the Chinese government prefers to “disappear” people by making it look like a natural death. “Like this virus,” she says. According to Yan, infections and heart attacks are common strategies used to get rid of dissenters. Yan also suspects her husband may have been helping them.

Fortunately, since entering the U.S., the attacks have been relegated to discrediting her and ruining her reputation. “For example, they created thousands of fake accounts on social media, using at least seven languages, to spread [lies about me] and attacks to discredit me,” she says.

According to Yan, this has been verified by FireEye, a cybersecurity company that also does work for American intelligence agencies. Her family, who are in mainland China, friends and even alumni are also under strict surveillance by the Chinese government, she says.


Vindication

While the whole world denied the possibility that SARS-CoV-2 was manmade for over a year, in recent months, the truth has finally entered the mainstream. A number of reporters have wrestled with excuses, trying to justify or explain away their long-held denials.

“Last year in July, when I was first on Fox News, I told them the WHO and the CCP are corrupted and are in the cover-up together,” Yan says.

Quote:“At that time, it was a bombshell. Now, most people realize [the virus] is not from nature. That is a very good turning, and I keep helping other people to realize the evidence.

I explain to them the CCP’s style and the evidence. Now, I see that even some mainstream media are starting to talk about the possibility of [it being a] bioweapon. I think it is very encouraging. Because people need to realize that China is using this virus together with their misinformation campaign and propaganda to attack all over the world.”


Who’s running the show?

While the Chinese military may be responsible for the physical creation of the virus, there’s ample evidence showing the U.S. funded at least some of the research that resulted in this pandemic.

The flow of money from Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), the EcoHealth Alliance run by Peter Daszak, and the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) is well-documented. Ralph Baric, Ph.D., at the University of North Carolina has also conducted research that appears to have been applied to SARS-CoV-2.

The sequence of events is confusing, however, and it’s unclear just who is the real string-puller in all of this. When asked what her take is, and who she believes might be running the show, Yan replies that even without American funding, China certainly would still have managed to create this virus.

Quote:“The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) … they are a giant octopus and they have tentacles. The brain is the CCP. Those scientists, especially the military scientists and coronavirus experts [such as] my previous supervisor, Dr. Malik Pieris, they are the ones that had the real evil ideas.

They enjoy it, and they want to command this knowledge … Even China cannot use their tentacles … if they cannot use infiltration to get your money, they will still manage to get your technology and do it in China. That’s the key point. The money from American taxpayers, it looks a lot. Yes, it’s millions [of dollars]. However, compared to the money donated by the Chinese government, it’s just a very small piece …

They developed this virus and other things in their unrestricted bioweapons program. They want to destroy Americans’ economic and social order, destroy your civilization. [While the virus has attacked worldwide], they always list America as a primary enemy and the biggest problem.

So, when they show you this kind of propaganda, through TikTok and other social media [where Chinese citizens] tell you, ‘Oh, in China we control the outcome and it’s good, and we love our government.’ American people will feel, ‘Yeah, maybe we should give up our democracy and turn to try communism.’ That’s all they want to do.”


Chinese data collection

Since the start of the pandemic, it’s been near-impossible to determine how many Chinese have actually been affected. According to Yan, the CCP will only release data that benefits itself.

“Chinese people all know not to trust any data that comes from our government,” she says. “They don’t do statistics. They just sit there. Whatever data they want, they write it down. That’s how they [produce] data.”

According to Yan, the CCP has been using the converse strategy used in the U.S. and elsewhere. Rather than inflate case numbers, they’ve been suppressing them. One way they’ve been doing this is by delaying diagnosis, so deaths are not listed as COVID-19 deaths.

“It’s totally opposite,” she says. “For example, in America, once a person has been diagnosed with COVID, even if they later died of some other problem, they still will be [counted] as a COVID case.

Quote:“But in China, they can use a ventilator to make the patient survive until the test comes out negative. They have thousands of ways to handle it. Importantly, they also gave early treatment, including hydroxychloroquine and other drugs.”

According to Yan, military scientists in China have also filed a patent to use hydroxychloroquine to treat COVID-19. “That made them earn the top anti-COVID award by Chairman Xi last year,” she says. Hydroxychloroquine is also sold over the counter in China, so it’s easy to get a hold of. She believes part of the reason why the death toll in the U.S. has been so high is because hydroxychloroquine was suppressed and censored.


Is there a connection between the COVID shots and the CCP?

The COVID-19 pandemic has clearly been capitalized upon by greedy drug companies, and the suppression of early treatment drugs appears to have been an intentional strategy to make the COVID shot — which is turning out to be extraordinarily hazardous to your health — the only alternative. How does the COVID “vaccine” tie into the theory that SARS-CoV-2 is a CCP bioweapon? Yan says:

Quote:“Definitely there is a clear connection between the vaccine and the CCP’s strategies … Some people … try to explain that the vaccine will kill people, and therefore it is another bioweapon. But this is not an accurate reason. First China released the virus they developed in the military labs. This virus doesn’t have a high death rate … That’s why I called it an unrestricted bioweapon. It looks like it’s natural occurring.

Once you realize something is wrong, they use misinformation and denial to confuse you. So, when China released it — and China controls the scientific community to spread misinformation, and censored [information] to let people believe it’s come from nature — what will people do?

They will think about drugs, the drugs they already have. The other way is a vaccine, because people are educated to accept a vaccine can end a pandemic.

In this case, useful drugs like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin are so cheap. How could they use this to earn huge profits? The CCP also had a lot of stock shares from Pfizer, Moderna and other big pharmaceutical companies. Check the money they put in … And then big pharmaceutical companies, they all say, ‘OK, now we can use this chance to make money’.”

Clearly, many who support and push the COVID shot know full well that they’re bound to cause health problems. Yan herself was asked to work on a COVID vaccine but she declined after looking into the available science. No coronavirus vaccine has ever been released, despite scientists working on it for two decades.

The reason? The vaccines cause too many injuries. They’re lethal. Yan did not believe these problems could be overcome for SARS-CoV-2. Peiris himself discovered antibody-dependent enhancement during efforts to develop a vaccine against the original SARS virus. Still, when money is being thrown at scientists, they’re usually not going to turn it down.


Vaccine passports will usher in a Social Credit System

Of course, the COVID shots and the vaccine passports also fit into the CCP agenda by making the whole world accept and adopt the CCP’s social control system. The vaccine passports are clearly designed to usher in a social credit system like they have in China. And with that, you get 24/7 digital surveillance and an unbelievable amount of control over every single person.

As explained by Yan, in China, the digital surveillance system is so advanced, if your phone GPS shows you were near an infected person, you are automatically ordered into isolation.

What’s more, if parents or grandparents fail to get the COVID shot, the family’s children are barred from school, even if they got the shot. Every aspect of life is linked together through this system, so a poor social credit score will also have financial ramifications, and will dictate if, where and how you’re allowed to travel.

Yan points out that Americans, being unaware of the Chinese surveillance system, don’t understand that by agreeing with vaccine mandates and passports, they are saying yes to a total surveillance system that will dictate their entire lives. They’re also saying yes to being guinea pigs for an endless stream of questionable vaccines.

“Once you support mandate for two doses, then you have to support for the booster, and then support 60 boosters, 199 boosters. It [will be] endless,” she says. “And you’ll be tied into this [social] credit system you built.”


China wants world dominance by 2035

According to Yan, China’s goal is to achieve world dominance by 2035. With that aim in mind, they’ve spent decades developing unrestricted bioweapons. With COVID-19, they’re well on their way.

“They want to use all this to overcome the world, and America is their primary enemy,” Yan says. “So we have to stand up for the future, for our next generations. We cannot keep silent. This will be the last chance we have to fight against such communist evil plans, and to save all of us. And, most importantly, we have to all work together to stop the next pandemic or attack that comes out of China …”

Quote:“[Just look at] what’s happening in Hong Kong now. In two years, from 2019 until now, China destroyed the systems of law, democracy and freedom in Hong Kong. They also enacted national security laws. Basically, they own your privacy. They own your freedom, and you are forced to listen to them.

There is no reason they can’t do whatever [they want] to you. Basically, you are a slave living in a modern society. No doubt, once China overcomes America, it will be the same here, and maybe worse because they will have other technology at that time.”

When asked what actions Yan believes we need to take to resist and derail this plan, she says:

Quote:“I want Americans to know that, first, adults should realize the evilness of Communism, Maoism, Marxism, no matter what name it changes to … And once you realize that, speak out about it, because they are using propaganda to brainwash people, to brainwash the kids.

Also, you must let your policymakers, legislators, know this. I’m a foreigner, but you are an American citizen. You can vote, so you must let them understand the importance and push them to do something. Don’t believe the Chinese government and don’t give any mercy to the CCP.

Also, you have to update your own system. Study the weakness in your whole system, [the weakness that allows them] to divide America. Once you do all these things, hold them accountable and don’t let them do more. That’s the end of the pandemic.”

Austria launches vaccine passports
Starting this week.

[Image: austria-232.jpg]

ReclaimtheNet | November 7, 2021

Austrians who can’t produce a vaccine passport will soon not be able to enter bars and multiple other public places. The vaccine mandate has been imposed because of the rising number of cases, Chancellor Alexander Schallenberg said while announcing the new restrictions.

The vaccine passport mandate will take effect starting Monday. Those who have not been vaccinated will not be able to enter most public and entertainment venues and events with more than 25 people. The move is expected to have a huge impact, considering 36% of the country’s population has not been vaccinated.

“The evolution is exceptional and the occupancies of intensive-care beds are increasing significantly faster than we had expected,” Schallenberg said.

Though new restrictions take effect on Monday, the government will allow a four-week transition period. During the transition period, those who have received only one dose of the vaccine and those with a recent negative PCR test will be exempted from the restrictions. However, after the four weeks, only those who have been fully vaccinated will be exempted from the restrictions.

Unlike most countries and jurisdictions, Austria will recognize a recent recovery from COVID as an equivalent of being fully vaccinated.

The vaccine mandates will not apply to employees, only customers.

The chancellor argued that: “One is a leisure activity undertaken voluntarily – no one forces me to go to the cinema or the restaurant – the other is my place of work.”

The conservative government also announced stricter measures on the unvaccinated if 600 COVID patients are admitted to intensive care units.

The move adds Austria to the growing number of European countries implementing vaccine passport mandates.
